"The names have been changed to protect the revolving door." You could say that. It's hard to say for sure, but it seems a little fishy. Think Progress reports on a former Goldman Sachs Vice President who changed his name shortly before going on to become a top staffer to House Oversight Committee chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa (D-Calif.).

It was announced this morning that the Securities and Exchange Commission has accused Goldman Sachs "of securities fraud in a civil suit filed Friday...which claims the bank created and sold a mortgage investment that was secretly devised to fail."

The firm is a major player on Wall Street—and K Street in Washington, D.C. Leading up to the economic bust in 2008 and continuing to today, the firm has spent millions dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions.
